Forbidden Broadway had the theatre for the summer with the option to extend into the fall. I bet another rental show is already preparing to take that slot.

This season, he also has eggs in: Once Upon a One More Time, Here Lies Love, Back To The Future, Purlie, Harmony, The Notebook, and Cabaret.

ATG, Amanda DuBois, Annapurna, and Bad Robot are the commercial producers behind it.

Compare that to the weekly minimums of the tours for MJ, Hamilton, Six, Moulin Rouge, Frozen, Wicked, and etc which is at$2,403/week. I know the show hasn’t recouped yet, obviously, but for a show that is making well over a million dollars a week on Broadway it is striking that equity allowed the tour to pay so little. I’m just confused by the decision making here. If other well known IPs can tour on the higher level contract, why can’t Back to the Future?"

There wasn't a decision by Equity here. Any show can use the SET agreement if the production qualifies for it. And it has nothing to do with IP or Broadway grosses. It concerns the length and financial arrangements of the tour engagements. This is oversimplifying, but if the majority of engagements are one week or less, no engagements are over four weeks, and there are guarantees of under $300k per engagement, it can use this agreement. There is some potential upside to the cast that isn't in the production contract. Once a tour recoups, salaries go up 17%, and in weeks there is profit, each cast member gets .28% of that profit.

Matt Rogers said: "It’s 83% positive on Show score, but only 4 reviews and I’m pretty sure one of them is a shill. However, I just learned that it at another one of these 2 hour plays without an intermission, so I’m out."

Truly curious. Do you have the same issue with movies? Barbie's running time is longer than this show.

Spamalot is opening in the fall. They have a theater and are waiting on the current show to announce closing before they announce.

BossBroadway said: "Everyone docking this production on its technical elements is not acknowledging the fact that this was produced on a budget of $2 million. Not very much compared to over pre-Broadway tryouts that lose all of its money. The production value would certainly be much higher on Broadway, as well as it's orchestra."

The Ahmanson production was closer to $4M (the enhancement was probably about $2M) 

AEA is probably supporting the casino because of pressure from the trade unions that would build it.

Probably the best way is, is you know the name of the LLC, to search the SEC's EDGAR database. Those filings will include the names of the managing members.

Yes.

They had a West End theatre lined up for the spring but couldn't raise the money in time.

Ken, and a few others, have done that: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/theater/dialing-up-a-hit-influence-over-musical-is-in-the-crowds-hands.html

One More Time is produced by the Nederlanders and unlikely to go to a Shubert house.
